IMPORTANT

Assertion: When a particle is at an extreme position performing SHM, its momentum is equal to zero.

Reason: At the extreme position, the velocity of a particle performing SHM is equal to zero.

IMPORTANT

Assertion: In a compound pendulum, if the suspension point and centre of oscillation are mutually interchanged, then no change in a time period is obtained.

Reason: Length of the equivalent simple pendulum remains same in both the case.
